There is a serious need to build infrastructure to empower people though education, health, and medicine. I was inspired to work on increasing the supply of something very close to my heart: Books! Since then, I have been working to create an African Literacy Project, focused on building libraries around Africa, with the first one established in, Kokofu, located in the Kumasi Region in Ghana.
I came into contact with William Kamkwamba through this project. His family could not afford his tuition fee, and were unable to support his school attendance. Through the program he read a book on windmills, learning their use as an alternative and powerful energy source. William Kamkwamba became inspired to build a windmill, which later created enough electricity to power his own household and eventually his entire village.
I believe there are more young men and women like William Kamkwamba in other parts of Africa and I would like to supply them with books that can inspire them in similar ways.
